Posted @withregram • @picturebookrecommendations Have you ever heard of a water monster? An axolotl is a salamander that will never lose its gills or fins and looks a bit like, well a monster. ⁠
⁠
This lyrical new picture book masterfully weaves in Spanish vocabulary and colors while sharing the life cycle of this fascinating amphibian and the Aztec myths that surrpound it. ⁠
